Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard VOS! - A Beautiful Recreation Of The First 'Burst'!

Dagan checks out the stunning Gibson Custom '58 Les Paul Standard Reissue in the glorious Iced Tea Burst finish! This guitar was the beginning of the burst!

The 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue features all the painstaking historic construction methods of the famous '59 Reissues with a few historically-accurate spec differences that allow it to stand on its own. Like the 1958 originals, it has narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tone profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile for a full feel and maximum bending leverage. And finally it has a beautiful plain maple top; each is unique and full of character. Available in a variety of classic sunburst shades.

Incredibly authentic from the tuners down to the wiring and with its Vintage Original Spec (VOS) status, it looks, feels, and sounds exactly like an original 1958 Les Paul Standard.

When a Gibson guitar achieves VOS status, you know you're getting a genuinely authentic recreation of an iconic guitar. Each of these VOS guitars is created from the ground up with original specs, from the hardware and electronics, to even the type of glue used on the neck and fretboard.

So I actually bought this exact guitar from PMT last week. She plays like a dream!

[Mr_Bollie]

I have a VOS from 2008. Bought it used, but I guess somebody swapped out the PUs. Yet, it plays so well! However, what completely blows me away is how you guys dialed in the Torpedo. That sounds really amazing!

[svtman]

I've been fortunate enough to play roughly around a dozen original bursts between 58, 59, and 60. Its amazing how much variation can be between them. I've played 60's with chunky 59 feeling necks. 59's with "slim" feeling necks, and all the 58's i've played (my favorite year) have had the biggest necks. Have also been lucky to own three original goldtop's two 1952"s and one 1953. The neck on the 53 had a nice "v" to it. Considering picking up a new r8 or r9

Whenever I see Dagan sporting the black nail polish, I imagine a big guy like him with a tiny brush putting his nail polish on.
I find that very funny for some reason. No disrespect intended.
Very nice LP ! Love the Iced Tea finish too. One of my favorite finishes for a Gibson LP.

[Hentarded]

That's one of the best looking guitars I've seen for some time. Just gotta sell a kidney or 2 to afford it.

Awesome guitar. I bought a used one that was used for 4 songs by a touring rocker for $3500.00. It was basically brand new. Right place at the right time.

[darthkaton]

I feel like I just watched Dagan go to his happy place this whole video lol.

[AviMus]

I have one of these but mine was made in 2011 and is bourbon burst. Absolutely love it!

[pstreetblues]

Bought the same guitar from yourselves back in September. Amazing guitar. Well it should be for the price lol.

[grumpyrocker]

That's beautiful. I wish there were more "plain" top options lower down the Gibson range.

[kristopherkrahl]

Sitting here watching and here's what's running thru my mind....1. That finish is beautiful, my favorite on a LP and that one is no exception! 2. That sound...I'm dying to hear you crack into a Jimmy Page/Led Zep riff. 3. Never thought I'd ever hear myself saying this but maybe I need to offload some/most of my stuff to acquire one of those...😯😯😯 🤔🤔🤔

[michaelheller]

I call that one the “get yer ya/yas out” amazing sound! I got my R8 in green lemon burst. I like the thicker neck personally.

[linusheeda]

What an awesome guitar, I’m in love 😍 😍😍😍😍

[adamwatson]

Actually the sunburst les paul didn't start until mid 58 . Les paul standards from the First half of 1958 were gold tops

[evanwanous]

Is there a difference between an R8 and a standard 1958 reissue?

[GibsonVOS]

Is that really an Iced Tea 😊?
It looks like a washed Cherry burst doesn’t it 😊?

Gorgeous!

[stuartmacdonald]

No plastic switch tip on these new ones's now?

[martinclayton]

How many of my wife's organs will it cost me?

[AuntAlnico]

Are these weight relief or chambers !?
It's sounds just my Les Paul studio tribute Cherry burst with a baseball bat maple neck and totally weight relieved And very affordable ($675) is what I paid and it's sounds identical going into my 100 watt 1959 Plexi clone !🤷🏻‍♀️ go figure !?

[waxman]

turn down the treble or something - kind of sounds like shiz - sorry
